Did you know that over 53 MILLION people visit Disney World over the course of just one year? During winter break my family took a vacation to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

We visited all four of the different parks in just four days. We went back to the Magic Kingdom after the Animal Kingdom because we got tickets to the Mickey’s Magical Christmas Party. There, we got really cute Mickey bucket hats that were Christmas themed.

My family and I went to Patagonia, Arizona. We drove through Tucson to our cute little AirBnB that looked like a playhouse.

The next day, we went bird-watching and saw many animals, including squirrels, a violet-crowned hummingbird, and, surprisingly, a Cooper’s Hawk. During the hike, we saw something so special that my family and I quietly crouched down to take a picture. About 60 feet in front of us, was a herd of deer with their fawns.

The Hindu calendar is based off the lunar cycle.

According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, around 60 to 100 million feral cats live in the U.S. My family and I have done a lot of TNR on many different cats that are thriving today.
